just got home from the track and it had no prep plus the dew point was real low and everybodies car was dripping track was saturated. my best time was a 15.1 at 96.5 mph but i cut a 2.75 60 ft track had no traction. last run i managed to cut a 2.4 60 ft and ran 15.1 at 80mph yes 80mph i missed 4th completely....till next time good to see your car is almost running 13s if i could have gotten a 2.0 60ft at 96mph i would have def broke into the 13s

i can power shift my first three gears in my 6spd vt but for some reason 4th gear is not having it, as far as boost launching goes doesnt help all that much unless your track is aggressively prepped because most of us are shredding the tires in first gear any ways. I am gonna buy some shifter bushings and the 2015 short shifter and go back at it on a test and tune night were the track is prepped pretty good. How much weight savings where those seats.

i put the rev 75a bushings in and wheel hop is pretty much non existent my power doesnt seem to cut out at all but for some reason the throw from third to fourth scratches every time sometimes it wont go so im gonna do a couple things to see if i can fix that a.k.a bushing short throw and new tranny oil. I wouldnt place all your chips on the auto yet from the numbers im seeing so far with out being able to hook or catch 4th good my car is looking real good to break into the 13s and with the mph your putting up you should be capable of 13s as well. On your last pass of the afternoon if you would have cut a 2.0 on your 60ft you would have ran a 13.9ish just keep at it.

pick up better tires buy a lower mount or the 75a bushings from rev motorsports and try it again. be warned though when your still at a light the 75a bushings make the car shake a bit but the trade off is well worth it. I am currently running firestone firehawks ultra performance tires 225s and they make a world of difference at least on the street was hard to tell at the track since it was not prepped at all. I think next time I will definitely take out the seats if i can shave that much weight. The cat back would be sweet but I would be pulled over in a heart beat driving around like that.
